<p>From what I can see from the information you’ve given, the strengths in your application are: level of course rigor (IB at my school is incredibly intense), your SAT I which I think is very solid, and the multiple, impressive leadership positions in your extracurriculars. </p>
<p>However, I’d say your weaknesses are: your unweighted GPA-- I agree with laneyjaney that it’s rather low and may hurt you, the lack of clear passion in your extracurriculars, and (in your opinion) the ‘okayness’ in your recommendations and essays. Many top colleges such as Emory really do consider what teachers say about their students because they want to know how a student influences class discussions, leads groups, works cooperatively, how passionate a student is about learning, work ethic… you get the idea. The personal essay is also important because it shows the admissions committee members not only how you write, but also how you think. I do hope that your Emory supplemental essays also (Why Emory?) truly demonstrated your reasons for applying and interest in attending the school. </p>
<p>It looks like you aren’t too satisfied with your subject tests, but I honestly don’t think they’ll hurt you at all because I hear that Emory does not require them for their applications (please correct me if I’m mistaken). </p>
<p>I’m guessing you’re really interested in Emory since you’ve applied EDII-- I hope you get in! Don’t you hear back pretty soon?</p>
<p>hey…i think u have a great chance of getting in…
i think what it really comes down to is showing that you have a strong desire to attend emory…and u have to show that really strongly…
and of course…a 2130 and decent gpa helps…
i dont think your unweighted gpa will matter…just see what happens…
and GOOD LUCK!</p>
I’m and ED2 applicant too… Good Luck though!</p>
